Ría, everything remembered is dear, everything remembered is there: Works by Lihie Talmor and Ruti Talmor
Galeras Gallery, Coral Gables Museum
This exhibition assembles 37 prints, including photogravures and photo-etchings, that capture a deeply personal trip across the American South by the mother-daughter duo Lihie Talmor and Ruti Talmor, as they followed Elvis Presley’s early steps. “Eventually, like my mother, I was entranced by the mystery that seemed to sit at the core of [Elvis Presley]; there was something unreachable, ungraspable, about him that we wanted to understand. He was a multiplicity of things and yet the essence of him was none of these. How do you capture something that doesn’t leave a trace? What do we leave behind after we are gone?” says Ruti Talmor, whose road diary provides intimate and evocative reflections and insights into their travels.
